World champion Luke Littler made a surprise appearance at a local darts tournament in Benidorm, just days after his historic PDC World Championship victory.
The 17-year-old prodigy stunned fans when he walked into Players Sports Bar in Albir on Wednesday night.
The venue had been packed with British spectators only five days earlier, watching Littler become the youngest-ever player to win the PDC World Championship final.
While the teenage sensation didn’t compete in the local tournament, he delighted revellers by posing for photographs during the bar’s first darts competition of 2025.

The teenage star is no stranger to Albir, having holidayed there last May following champions week.
Littler’s appearance at the Spanish venue came after his stunning 7-3 victory over Michael van Gerwen at London’s Alexandra Palace.
